Of course, you're completely oblivious of the fact that you were too
lazy to remove the words from your 2 posts. I might be lazy but the
truth is that I don't care if the recipe calls for shortening - you're
the one complaining. Looks like that makes you lazy AND an idiot, right?

My suggestion is that you don't use shortening if it
frightens/displeases you. :-)

years. It used to worry me but evidently, I've got enough brain material
to compensate. Sorry to see that you haven't been as fortunate. :-)

little scare that you may come up with. Thanks!
